“José María Cabral Brings Dark Comedy 'Sh*t Happens' to Tallinn, Latido Films Boards Sales” — what this page in the network covers. Dominican director José María Cabral, a three-time Oscar hopeful and the first filmmaker from his country to screen at Sundance with 2017's 'Woodpeckers,' premieres his first dark comedy 'Sht Happens' at the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival. Latido Films has boarded international sales for the Almodóvar-esque story of class, dependency, and power set in a Dominican household where a plumbing crisis exposes social divides.
The film marks a tonal shift for Cabral, known for hard-hitting dramas, and underscores the growing global appetite for Latin American stories that blend sharp social commentary with humor. With Latido's track record and Cabral's festival pedigree, 'Sht Happens' is poised to attract arthouse distributors and further elevate Dominican cinema on the world stage.
